Fox in the Penalty Area

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!" Xia Xiaoyu was sitting in the classroom when he heard Chen Rui's voice from the door.

When he looked up, he saw Chen Rui waving his arms excitedly at the door.

He went out: "What's the matter, Chen Rui?"

"I saw Coach Li posting the list of the selected school teams upstairs just now! Come on, go and see!" Chen Rui pointed to the square downstairs and said to him.

Xia Xiaoyu looked along his hand, and there were already many people around the bulletin wall.

"Okay, let's go!"

The two ran downstairs.

When they rushed to the announcement wall, because there were too many people around, many people couldn't see the names inside from the outside, so some people in the front row were calling everyone's names loudly.

Every time a name is read, there will be cheers erupting from a corner of the crowd.

"Haha! I've been chosen!"

"I hit it! I hit it!!"

"It's me! It's me, it's me, it's me!!"

...

"Wow, don't you want to be so exaggerated..." Chen Rui couldn't help smacking his lips when he saw this scene, "People who don't know think this is an act of "Fan Jinzhongju"..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice from inside: "Chen Rui!"

So Xia Xiaoyu saw this new friend next to him jump up, raised his arms and shouted, laughing loudly:

"Ahahahaha! It's me! I've been chosen!! Yeh!"

Seeing Chen Rui's happy look, Xia Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head: "You are the most like Fan Jinyan!"

While talking, the voice from inside sounded again: "Xia Xiaoyu!"

"Ha! Congratulations, Xiaoyu!" Chen Rui rushed forward and hugged Xia Xiaoyu.

Xia Xiaoyu tried hard to push him away, he didn't want the girls in the class to misunderstand that he had some impure relationship with this rough guy...

But in terms of strength, Xia Xiaoyu is not Chen Rui's opponent at all. The latter's hands were like a pair of iron clamps, tightly encircling his body, preventing him from moving.

In the end, he could only obediently be embraced by Chen Rui...

After school in the afternoon, Chen Rui ran to the door of Xia Xiaoyu's classroom to wait for him, and the two went to the stadium together.

Today is the first day they joined the Dongchuan Middle School football team, and it was also the first day they participated in the team's training.

When the two of them came to the court, they found that many people were already on the court.

You can tell at a glance which ones are newcomers and which ones are old players who have been in the team for a long time-everyone stands on a clear line.

Because of unfamiliarity, the newcomers stand loosely on one side.

The old players of those teams gathered on the other side, looking curiously at the new blood of these teams.

At the same time, they are also being scrutinized by the newcomers on the opposite side, especially those old players who have performed well in the national competition, and they will be watched by more people. It's a pity that Luo Kai is not leaving, otherwise he must be the focus of everyone present.

Now, Hu Lai has become the object of more attention. After all, he scored three goals in the national competition. Regardless of how those three goals were scored, it is great to be able to score in the national competition, and it is still three goals.

It was not until the head coach Li Ziqiang appeared on the football field that this mutual scrutiny ended.

"What are you doing standing so wide?" Li Ziqiang was very dissatisfied with this clear-cut way of standing.

After he said this, everyone quickly gathered in the middle.

After everyone had assembled, he said "welcome" to the new players with a straight face.

"Congratulations on joining the school team. As the head coach of the school team, I welcome you on behalf of the whole team."

It is not surprising that the old players are accustomed to such a very personal welcome to the head coach, but those newcomers who have just joined the team see the expression of the head coach, and they will inevitably feel uneasy in their hearts, thinking that the head coach does not seem to be It's easy to get along...

Especially what he said next, deepened the worry in everyone's heart.

"But don't get too excited,

Being in the team doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. If your performance in training does not satisfy me, then I have no choice but to ask you to leave. You know, our goal is to participate in the national competition, and the football team of Dongchuan Middle School does not accept those who just want to come here to dawdle. If you are just a football fan, but you are not willing to pay the price to train and improve, then sorry, the school team does not welcome you. "

The rookies were all stunned by the head coach's words.

Xia Xiaoyu looked very excited, and couldn't hide the eagerness on his face.

This scene fell into Chen Rui's eyes.

When the team started to warm up, he ran to Xia Xiaoyu and asked secretly: "Xiaoyu, why are you so excited when you hear the head coach say that? I see that many people are obviously scared..."

"The coach said this, which shows that he really intends to participate in the national competition for two consecutive years. Otherwise, he can say something nice to make the atmosphere more harmonious. But he didn't do that... Of course I am happy, because this It means that I made the right decision to come to Dongchuan Middle School!" Xia Xiaoyu explained to Chen Rui.

"Is that so? I think some people have retreated a bit because the training may be very hard..."

Xia Xiaoyu smiled: "Training is hard work and you will be rewarded. Don't they think that Dongchuan Middle School's top eight in the last national competition came by chance?"

After saying this, he saw that Chen Rui's expression was a little strange, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Uh... Some people really think that the Dongchuan Middle School quarter-finals in the last competition were just lucky..."

"Do you also believe the nonsense on the Internet, Chen Rui?"

Chen Rui shook his head quickly: "Of course I don't believe it. However, the lore shot between Dongchuan Middle School and Huitang Middle School did have an element of luck..."

Xia Xiaoyu spread his hands: "If there is an element of luck, it is because of Luo Kai's will to go his own way, which leads to a decrease in the probability of scoring. If it is not for luck, this goal may not be scored."

Chen Rui was startled when he heard Xia Xiaoyu say that. It was the first time he heard someone explain the so-called good luck from this angle: "Can you explain it like this?"

Xia Xiaoyu snorted: "The best choice for Luo Kai is not to shoot the ball. If he can pass the football straight to Hu Lai, Hu Lai can get a single-handed shot. In the end, he chose to do it by himself... the ball If it hadn't been for Hu Lai's face, I don't think it might be possible to score - the goalkeeper has judged the right direction and made a save in advance, which means that he has a high probability of saving the ball. If it were replaced I must have pretended to shoot and then sent a through ball to Hu Lai. A group of Luo Kai's brainless fans on the Internet said that Hu Lai stole Luo Kai's goal. In my opinion, it was Hu Lai who saved the attacking opportunity. They should thank Hu Lai for not letting Luo Kai become the sinner who was eliminated from Dongchuan Middle School..."

Chen Rui grinned, Xia Xiaoyu's words were too serious.

However, Xia Xiaoyu seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and was still talking to Chen Rui: "I heard that last year's Dongchuan Middle School formed a team in a hurry, because Coach Li came after the school started. So I can understand why Dongchuan Middle School The middle school will take Luo Kai as the core."

"Isn't it right to take Luo Kai as the core?" Chen Rui asked back.

"If I were a coach, I would prefer to use Hou Lai as the core."

"With a player who only came into contact with football after joining the school team as the core?"

"Of course, Hu Lai looked a little weak at that time...but it's different now, you have seen it too, right? On the morning of the first day of school, the head coach was training Hu Lai on the court. Guess what? What do you mean?" Xia Xiaoyu asked Chen Rui.

Chen Rui frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The coach has high hopes for Hu Lai?"

"Well, so I guess the head coach will let Hu Lai be the core of the offense in the Anton Cup this year."

Xia Xiaoyu looked at Hu Lai's back and said in a very affirmative tone.
